Consequences of DIY

[beto]

Im know a lot of people read this forum , so i want to share this

Many times u heard posts with answer to u question " dont tried send to a DR company", an attempt to do it by u self could be risk for u data etc, well , this is the reason why many guru´s insist u dont tried, we receive this day Seagate 500Gb 7200.10, people who looks doesnt have experience and without proper installations , tried to did a DR here, causing, contamination over surface, MR heads broken, and a lot of dust when they tried to put again, damaging directly to the platters.

So now u know consequences if u really want to tried by u self!

Hi Beto, good idea to show this, maybe this topic should be made sticky so that the DIY'ers can see what happens when they screw up. We see this situation so often, fingerprints, dust, bent MHA, even biscuit crumbs

Then they send a drive to us and actually sound disappointed when we can't fix it!! Customers eh

Wow, thats a bad one. I was working on one today that someone tried a platter exchange and I'm pretty sure they put them back in the wrong order

Hy guys if anyone want to share some pics , should be great, the points its this fiield its not like tech support, where u have a bad pc which doesnt u get signals, and u open machine and u tried to exchange parts, exchange ram memory, if now work u exchange cpu etc, etc and u are checking until u get solution here on hard disks its not possible if u do that u will kill hdd forever, the best its understand hdd´s are piece of engineering with a lenguage protocol, where send some info to host and decode it etc, thats only one part of this works and if u want to tried never tried with data client hdd´s , !!
